WORKFORCE MANAGEMENT ACROSS INDUSTRIES

Every industry can benefit from workforce management.

Restaurants typically have a mix of full-time, part-time and seasonal workers, some of whom are qualified for several positions. Workforce management helps managers build schedules based on efficient templates that avoid overtime and link pay to job code. Workforce management also prevents buddy punching and early clock-in, and enforces break requirements.

Healthcare organizations often must meet staffing rules in addition to general labor law. Advanced templates speed the scheduling process by predefining the jobs required for the schedule. Workers can be assigned to those jobs and any variance or overtime violation is flagged. Rules allow shift swapping as long as staffing requirements are still met. Staffing reports are easily generated for submission to governing bodies, such as PBJ reports for ACA compliance in long-term skilled care facilities.

Hospitality organizations may have multiple locations, 24-hour operations, full and part-time staff and workers who can fill multiple jobs. Workforce management makes it simple to create a schedule and track work performed by location and job code. Rules are automatically enforced to prevent early clock-in, tie pay to job code and avoid overtime. Click here for a related case study.

Retail establishments have their own challenges. Often there is a mix of full and part-time workers, plus seasonal temporary employees. These establishments range from small ‘mom and pop’ shops to franchises and large box stores. All of them must be compliant with healthcare regulations, all applicable labor laws and other rules and regulations. Unplanned overtime, schedule adherence and turnover are common problems. Workforce management helps rein in labor costs by making it easier to schedule farther in advance, give workers more schedule control and identify when overtime is looming. Managers spend less time scheduling and reviewing time cards and issues like buddy punching and early clock-in are eliminated. Click here for related Case Study.
